Waited over 6 months for these wheels to arrive. Still waiting for my center caps though.
They look fantastic, GEMSTER. What is the finish? They look polished.

Third is Rota Slipstream in 16x7 ET35 w/ 225/45/16 Dunlop Direzza ZII's

Fourth is Rota Grid 16x8 ET20 w/ 205/45/16 Hankook Concept VII's
Love the Grids! I want them, but I have JCW brembos, and et20 is a bit much for me. Although, I am tucking R113's now

Where did you get yours from? If you don't mind my asking.

We have R113 and R105 on price drop from MINI in full sets Here:

These are full sets of four for one price: tires/ balanaced..etc.

These come with TPMS and JCW center caps. The TPMS are for -9/2009 MINI , so you can have them coded out for the TPMS by an aftermarket shop or just live with the TPMS light on. Option #2 Get http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/ES2763259/ and install so it will work with the 9/2009+ MINI TPMS system.

These used to be $3200.00+ a set, they just came down in price. Limited quarantines, get them while they last.

R105's will need spacers for JCW 4 position brakes.

-----------------
Or

-----------------


R113 , same thing with the TPMS . These don't need spacers for the JCW 4 piston brakes. See pics.

The R113 look very nice ryanschram - More pice on the Clubman, post them up , looks like you are all the way down the H&R RSS coilovers. Pretty awesome.

Where did you get yours from? If you don't mind my asking.

I got mine from RaceLab in Cali. I can actually tuck the rear rim with a 205/45, bottom out my coilover before I hit the fender. And as for the brakes, I think you would be surprised what they can clear! I think they would clear stock JCW calipers.

As requested:














All the way down on the front, still an inch of threads on the back. I like the raked look. Plus this way I don't have excessive negative camber in the back.

It'll only be this low for a few more weeks. Getting closer to putting her back up all the way. Need clearance for the Wisconsin winter.

I figured the Grid's would have a little more bow in them.... the offset must be the main factor in how concave or w/e they are huh?

They are pretty concaved, The pictures don't really do them much justice, they look pretty flat in pictures. They have enough bow to clear much bigger brakes.. at least another inch of clearance.

That's good because I was going to buy a set of these... I ended up deciding on a set of XXR 535's though because I couldn't find a decent place to buy the Rota's.... plus I kind of like the look of the XXR more... idk.. they will be here today and hopefully on tonight with pictures tomorrow or Sunday.

There are a couple of reputable Rota dealers in the US. Atleast 2 in California and 1 in Oregon. I'm not a huge fan of XXR wheels, I know Rota's are exactly the highest quality wheel out there but I've seen XXR's break and bend like tooth pics.

Should be interesting, I figured I would give them a shot since 3 out of 4 of my stock wheels have bends in them some how and the tires no longer seal.

Nice wheels. They fit the color scheme perfectly. I hardly noticed that it is a base Mini.

+1. I thought it was an S, until I read this post. Had to look back. The wheels and wing really add to the 'S' look.
